I am insisting my husband go to the new nerologist with his dad this week. Would it be a good idea to call the office ahead of time and put in his file for the doctor to discuss the driving issue? This way, it is the doctor that would bring it up not my husband. Thanks again for you kind words, they were very helpful. Wanda |
